Are plumbing contractors in Bellingham licensed and insured?
Contractor licensing in Washington runs through the Washington State Dept. of Labor & Industries — Contractor Registration, where you can verify any company's license before hiring. Also confirm liability insurance and ask for proof - reputable Bellingham companies provide it without hesitation.

At minimum: general liability insurance and, if the company has employees, workers' compensation. Ask any Bellingham provider for a certificate of insurance and confirm it is current - without it, an on-site injury or property damage can become your problem.
